I have always considered imaginative truth to be more profound, more loaded with significance, than every day reality... Everything we dream about, and by that I mean everything we desire, is true (the myth of Icarus came before aviation, and if Ader or Bleriot started flying it is because all men have dreamed of flight). There is nothing truer than myth... Reality does not have to be: it is simply what is.

Additional quotes by Eugène Ionesco

Zaci pe caldarîm,în stradă... E lume multă.Toți se grăbesc.Își închipuie că au o țintă,nu știu cu adevărat încotro se duc.Strigi.Se dau de-o parte ca să nu te calce în picioare,căci nu sunt cruzi,sunt doar nepăsători.Își poartă în ei propria moarte,nu o pot purta pe a ta..
